At the 1908 Summer Olympics, four figure skating events were contested, and winter sports were introduced for the very first time. Figure skating was one of the few sports in which women were allowed to compete in 1908.

The venue was the Prince's Skating Club, in the district of Knightsbridge, London. The competition took place on October 28 and 29, 1908.
